lol
Six weeks of learning how to wear your uniform and memorizing rank insignias. :roll: I went through three months of Marine Corps boot camp and I can't honestly believe anyone is really stressing about Air Force 'Basic Training.'
But all inevitable inter-service rivalry aside, damned...
i think the history goes something like (correct me if I'm wrong):
irish folk music + african rhythmic traditional tribal stuff => slave tunes, prison songs which evolved into (& coexisted with) blues.
old country folk and traditional gospel music picks up blues technique & rhythm and...
lol, no content, no refutation, only personal attacks from the lefties.
for instance:
rac'ist adj. & n: A conservative winning an argument with a liberal.
I don't think wind turbines are worth it, not if something as simple as roofing your house in solar panels allows you to come out ahead. Edison would have to operate only to supply industry & other ventures that consume more energy than their roof area can sustain. The look of wind turbines on...
Heard on the radio that some guy in Seal Beach has solar panels on his house and charged his GM EV1 every night and still came out positive, putting more power on the grid than he took off. The lease on the EV1 expired & GM wouldn't let him renew, so (last I heard) he had a EV RAV4 from Toyota...
I wonder if it would be possible to call their bluff and build a nuke plant offshore (or at a neutral site, or an an embassy-like foriegn-owned parcel of land) and have the Russains man & maintain it. "You need power, ok we'll give you power." In exchange for whatever Russia was trying to get...
a lot of it is tied together, it seems.
nukes are defensive historically, but would become immediately offensive in the hands of a terrorist, and terrorism is related to poverty... as is AIDS in Africa. African farmers can't make good money because of farm subsidies in developed nations that...
i just got my refurb 9200, the display is better than I expected. Got 256MB because upgrading aftermarket (newegg) is much cheaper than thru Dell. That's the only achilles heel that I can see, that chugging 256MB... it'll get rectified as soon as the UPS man shows up. I don't have access to...
there are a number of cheap things that are fun to play with as an intermediate guitarist, if he/she doesn't have them already... like a capo or a slide or a pimp tuner. If you're a little more ambitious, maybe an ebow, volume pedal, wah pedal. Or maybe some pyrotechnics gear if he's into metal.
there's some kind of surfboard wax you can scrape onto rough concrete that goes on more or less clear... then it picks up the dirt off people's shoes and slowly what was written becomes legible. I hear it's a pain in the ass to clean off, but I'm not too up on it.
I read somewhere that, removing every tax break (except the personal home loan interest thing), and implementing a flat tax would result in the tax being ~18% to come up with the same amount we collect through our current system ... which is just over half of what I pay today (~33%).
It...
The only Af/Am Dem candidates that have gotten as far as the primaries have been hilarious wackjobs (Rev Jackson & Rev Sharpton lol). I think the Dems will try Obama. He speaks well, but I don't know much about his stand on issues.
I can't think of a Dem Fem that's electable. Boxer...
I agree with the OP. Just voicing my support, don't give up the fight for Reason.
I don't care what conspiracy-theorist, contrarian, knee-jerk, teenage internet liberals think, so I skipped the rest of the thread.
when I was in Japan (in the Marines), a friend of mine (who was married to a Japanese woman) said that when his wife went to school, it was ambiguous as to what came first: Pearl Harbor or Hiroshima. He said she learned for herself after she got out of school, and that she was in school about...
